Donelle Robins, 52, of North Platte, NE was called to her Heavenly home on April 14, 2014 after a courageous battle of cancer.
Donelle was born in Rushville, NE to Clifford and Dorothy (Branson) Robins on September 10, 1961. She attended Rushville and Hemingford elementary through the fifth grade.
In 1973, she moved to Mitchell, NE with her parents Norman and Dorothy Tinsley and seven siblings. She graduated from Mitchell High School in 1980.
In 1980, she married and to this union her two daughters Sheree and Shala Stricker were born. Raising her daughters was the pride and joy of her life.
She moved her family to North Platte in 1994, where she began working at Great Plains Homecare Equipment. She was employed there for 19 years before retiring to fight her battle with cancer.
Donelle had many blessings in her life and was loved by many. She was a woman of faith believing in Jesus and the beauty and peace that would await her after her passing. She was a very caring and generous person that would brighten up the room whenever she was around. She enjoyed cooking with her grandchildren and often shared her meals with others. She had a special place in her heart for organizing fundraisers on behalf of friends and community members in need. She enjoyed spending time in her gorgeous backyard, repurposing /crafting, and vacationing. Her true passion and delight came from making memories with family and friends, especially her three grandchildren.
